An interesting study published in the July 3 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found an association between high carbohydrate/high glycemic index diets and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer. High glycemic diets would be a diet with many simple carbs such as white bread, white potatoes, sugars, candies, and cakes. While this study does not say that eating these things leads to cancer, it is suggesting a connection between the two. High glycemic diets are more inflammatory. High glycemic diets are high in glucose. Cancers thrive on glucose and mainly use glucose for energy. A high glycemic diet is unhealthy and puts one also at risk for diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Eating a diet high in vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legumes, and lean organic animal products is much healthier.
